Re: Request for comments - list change



Hello There Scirocco Fans!  I've been out of town but still wanted to put
my 2 cents in.  So here you go....

I agree wholeheartedly that the A1 owners have a lot of valuable info to
share on many areas that us rocco owners can benefit from.  Despite the
floods of e-mail we will be faced with, we stand to only gain from various
topics and projects that will be discussed.  However, IMHO, A1 owners
should, as they are now (Mannix, we love you), be welcome but it started
as a Scirocco List and I joined because I am a die hard Scirocco lover.  I
probably wouldn't have joined it if it was called A1 List.  I have the
pleasure of owning an A!, A2 & A3 and love all of them each differently
for different reasons, but the Scirocco has it's own soul and I hope to
see the legendary name of "Scirocco List" live on.
